Marital Bliss

For seven years! Brian and I celebrated another anniversary yesterday. But it wasn't really just another anniversary, it was our seventh - which means that we have past the test! You know, the seven-year itch! Brian had no idea what I was talking about when I told him this.

Anyway, it was a wonderful day. We usually try to take turns planning Valentines Day and our anniversary, but for some reason I ended up in charge of both days this year (that means I am off duty next year Bri, it is all you!). I decided that we were going to do something different, something that Brian would not normally do, something that he would have to do because it was our anniversary and I said so...



We got pedicures! It was so much fun - even Brian would say so. I could tell he was a little uncomfortable and out of his element when we walked in, but he was such a good sport about it. We got deluxe pedicures which included a leg massage, and Brian upgraded his to get a hot stone massage as well. It was so relaxing and Brian actually really enjoyed it. When we left he even said he would do it again - surprise, surprise!

After our pedicures we enjoyed a steak dinner - something very "manly" to balance out the night;) At dinner Brian surprised me with a beautiful turquoise ring. There is a story behind this ring and it holds a lot of sentimental value, but I am not divulging that info today. Lets just say that the whole thing made me cry, something I try hard not to do in public. It is one of the best presents I have ever received. Thank you Brian.

We also did some reminiscing by watching our wedding video. It is amazing what seven years will do! Everyone looked so young, especially Anna and Mary who were our flower girls. I loved our wedding. It was a perfect day.

And I love you Brian. I look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries with you.
